If you still like your phone and it's okay for you to use such a small phone, unlock the bootloader and try a custom rom
And if that's not enough for you, you are even able to buy a new phone then

Nope....Like Rhyskymud said ,it will allow custom ROMS like JellyBean and allow custom kernels ...The performance boost is incremental not phenomenal ...meaning ...Dont expect your phone to become Xperia Z magically ....It will be a better MDPI device certainly ...

Hmmm...Well it's all come down on how much MONEY you have right now....
if you have enough money to buy new model then go and buy new one but if you don't have it and you phone bootloader can be unlocked then unlocked it and flash custom roms...

hi people of O1 i have a question hi don´t now if somebody already ask this but hi dont find any thread for our phone about this, it´s possible to unlock bootloader for lg p500???
for what hi read for others phones it´s a great if not the best feature and tool to have in a android phone...
my question is, is this possible for our phone if so where can we find tips to do on optimus one???
thank you all...
Lg o1's bootloader is unlocked by default,thats the reason we can flash custom kernels.

ok,but we do that by recovery menu if it´s unlocked by default is there a default bootloader menu??
hope you understand what i´m asking because i dont write english very well...
EDIT. well you make me think about coming open by default and hi use an app to reboot to bootloader since hi dont have a power menu on my rom,
and it reboots to fastboot mode so i´m getting the picture recovery menu it´s more friendly use....
but i read somewhere here in xda that flash a recovery or a rom by fastboot mode is somehow mor safe for all phones because flash memory as some kind of lifetime but that´s another war ,i think that now i have the bases to learn another way to play with the phone thank´s for your help....

Please don't ask same question in different threads
Most phones from for example HTC did have a locked bootloader, but with already released or upcoming updates this lock will be removed. Don't know if Samsung does the same also for some of the phones which have a locked bootloader.
If you want to know ik a specific phone has a locked bootloader, perhaps Google can give you an answer.

The ability to install custom kernel on our phone itself tells that our bootloader is unlocked.Idk any other way to check it.

it's useless.
Yes, there are no stable ROMs right now
Who know why there are no ROMs, maybe developer motivation, Sony support, few developers...
The best way to help the developers it's test and test their ROMs, the support will improve the ROMs obviously
I cant test it because I need the phone and I cant wipe it each time or change the ROMs
Even some developers does not have the phone to test it directly
So dont expect much from a new ROM... just test...
thank you. i hope its just moral. unlocking bootloader is problem for us because there isnt any good rom / there isnt any good rom because people worry about unlocking bootloader for warranty. but for example there is so many good roms for neo v or ray etc.

Bootloader can be relocked
and I think that porting is possible from the 2011 phones to the xpu

i don't think relocking the bootloader can supoort warranty. because we give our imei numbers sony for unlocking bootloaders. they can see. but some of 2011 xperias can be unlocked from hardware like neo v.
The rom I'm waiting for is cm9 or aokp... Seriously when!?!?

Hello All,
i have the GT-I9300 Europe version, rooted, JB 4.1.1

i even heard that the Samsung have already an unlocked boot-loader - i don't think it's true.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
if so, how can i check if my boot loader is indeed unlock?
Since early 2011 Samsung has only had unlocked bootloaders with the exception when a provider demanded it (like Verizon).
So yours is UNLOCKED.

OK thanks, but must be a way to check it, right?

If its locked you can neither flash root nor a custom rom .
But it does not apply SGS3 I9300 has never been locked .

1) The bootloader is not locked. Your post is based on rubbish and could potentially brick an international s3. Please only post things you understand, not dangerous nonsense like this.
2) "dis" and "ur" are not proper words. The language of this forum is English and you have a responsibility to use real words. Sure, you may use less-than-perfect grammar and punctuation but at least try to spell words properly if you want to be taken seriously*
*also depends on 1).

Never heard it
U could ask the service center guyz if they could help u
And there would a developer kind enough to port cm 10 to locked bootloader once its out
And regarding oc... It requires custom kernel as u knw which requires unlocked bootloader :\
Experience lite is a superb rom.. Tried downloading it once bt 260mb on my slow net.. Will take half a day to download

Hey guys Im an xperia p user and I just flash ics .544 and rooted it
I installed OTARootkeaper
I just want to ask after all this work
my phone will be brick if I use OTA to update to jelly bean with OTARootKeaper??????????????????
This is for Q&A mate, why dont you read...
Your phone will be bricked only when you update your phone via OTA having unlocked bootloader. If you have locked bootloader, then feel free to update via OTA.

If you never heard of bootloader, chances are you have bootloader locked. To unlock bootloader you need to do some manual steps.
